QUOTE
“Then a chance encounter in a coffee shop led me back to the wonderful Diane Warren and she gave me the incredible gift of this song and the other songs on my upcoming EP.”

Clocking in at five tracks, the EP includes a further four original songs: Sanity, Deeper Into You, I Couldn’t Do That To Me and If You Go. Big Big Love is out March 17 on RAF/BMG.
[...]“The working title is ‘Once Upon a Time in California’, because that’s really where it all began for me. Everything’s done, all the artwork – I just have to finish the songs,” she said. “After I made ‘Wilder Shores’, people were complaining like, ‘Why don’t you do something in English?’ And I said, ‘Well, whatever I do has to really mean something’.

I already created a topic for this here kink.gif but I'm happy that there's enough love for this for a duplicate topic to be created! The orchestral version (see linked thread) sounds amazing and I can't wait for the studio version next week. Saw her live a couple of weeks ago and she was incredible wub.gif

Let's hope the album actually materialises but I'm happy enough with the EP for now. She's only made us wait about 25 years for it!

Hm, it sounds ok, but I don't love the vocal to this - sounds very chipmonk, but maybe it's been sped up for that clip.

It's a big, big chorus but I'm not a huge fan of the verses. I agree about the vocal too, there's something a little off with it. Anyone else prefer the Piano Rooms version of it she did last month? I think that was the perfect sound and tempo for the song!

I like the song but why the swearing? Just no need for explicit lyrics at all.

Swearing where exactly? unsure.gif

Climbing the walls
Hungry for something that satisfies my soul
I don't want much
Just when it comes to love I just want it all
And I'm out tryin' to find it
I want a feeling so powerful it brings me to my knees
I wanna almost drown cuz I'm in so deep
That's what I need

I'm looking for a big big love
That takes up all the space in my heart
I'm looking for a big big love
The kind that can tear me apart
And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it
That big big love, big big love
Big big love


I want a love that keeps me up nights
Gives me butterflies all day
I want someone to mess up my life
With love that drives me insane
So, where, where are you hiding
All I want is somebody who is all I think about
Someone who's someone I can't live without
I want it now (I want it now)

I'm looking for a big big love (big big love)
That takes up all the space in my heart
I'm looking for a big big love (big big love)
The kind that can tear me apart
And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it
That big big love, big big love


What I need (what I need)
Is someone to come and knock me off my feet (off my feet)
Jump off the cliff and dive into something deep
What I, what I mean
I'm looking for someone (looking for someone)
Who's looking for someone

Who's looking for a big big love
That takes up all the space in my heart
I'm looking for a big big love
The kind that can tear me apart
And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it
That big big love, big big love

I'm looking for a big big love
That takes up all the space in my heart
I'm looking for a big big love
The kind that can tear me apart
And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it
That big big love, big big love
Big big love, big big love, big big love
Big big love

Check iTunes / it’s got E for explicit next to the song and quite a few other tracks on the EP.

Big Big Love is up 1346 places (!) to #13 on the UK airplay chart. She's by far the oldest artist in the top 40 (along with the men of Depeche Mode), so happy for her! heart.gifcheer.gif

Is the E.P. only coming out on vinyl, not CD?

Shows you how far an A-listing on Radio 2 can get you! Hopefully it can be reflected on iTunes, but I'll take an airplay hit.
